John HolowachJohn Holowach's Shape Of Impact (January 7, 2006)

In the works for over half a year, this includes some of artist/samplist John Holowach's best work:

01. Twelve Again: A soft, spoken-word introduction to the album, setting the mood for the varying themes of love and lust that puncture the rest of it.

02. The First Step of a Long Journey: Gradual slope up of music to allow the ears to adjust. Dashes of high-speed chimes and piano dot the landscape.

03. It Equals 21: What equals 21? I'll give you an increasing number of hints: (1) It's three numbers added together ... (2) One of the numbers is 9 ... (3) It's a date ... (4) The other two numbers are single and double-digit, respectively ... (4) 09-11-01

04. Run It: A fun, DJ-centric piece with a variety of vox samples giving a strong vocal backdrop to it.

05. Chillbilly: Ambient meets trip-hop in this gliding, graceful work.

06. Clubbed to Life: A personal club-dedication song to Rob Dougan, featuring samples from Scott Waddell.

07. Endless Lasting Brilliance: Weird, whispering work.

08. Particles: Guitar-backed chill-out with a thumping beat and diverse sound offerings.

09. Inside: Dirty, sinister, and nasty. This peers into the world of lust in the mind of us all.

10. Behind My Eyes: A dark rap, featuring the vocals stylings of J.Lang, G' Wills & Nails

11. Sand Trap: Recalls an arabian sunset, with humvees riding across the horizon.

12. Two Sides: An entertaining mish-mash of a Colin Mutchler acapella and Brad Sucks' demo, the layered and rearranged lyrics analogize the fact that there are more than "two sides" to a relationship.

13. Struck: Gentle and moody, layered whispery vocals back this tale of sadness and longing for a distant lover.

14. I Want Your Body: A strong counterpoint to the previous song, this is a club anthem with only one thing on its mind.

15. The Walkin' Song: More sexuality, but mixed in with a confidence in oneself.

16. You're Next in Line: Long, drifting ambient piece.

17. Clubbed to Life (Driveby Mix): A slower, darker version of the Scott Waddell-sampled club song.

All samples used are included in the metadata.
